I'm just looking for a Pocket PC that I can use instant messenging systems on and browse the internet. Are there relatively inexpensive Pocket PCs with WiFi? All I've really seen is in the $300 price range.

Unfortunately, that's about as cheap as you're going to get. Most of the PDAs do seem a bit overpriced, but that's the way it is. I think $300 isn't too bad for a PDA with WiFi. You could try an HP 1945 with Bluetooth instead, you could probably get them pretty cheap on eBay or at least less than $300 with some online suplier. There might be other cheaper PDAs with Bluetooth, but I'm not sure of any cheaper PDAs with WiFi. Your best bet for that is eBay, but even there, with the mature units, you'll still find the price around $300. If anyone else has some input, feel free to add.
